<p>I have lost track of the number of times the google behavioural advertising system has surprised me and amused me by its randomness. Here is the latest from today &#8211; I am discussing the football coaches here in São Paulo &#8211; how sad the São Paulo fans are the loss of their beloved Muricy&#8230; and what should appear &#8211; an advert for a coach (bus) company in Coventry. Kind of unlikely that someone in São Paulo wants to hire a bus in Coventry but should it happen i know where to turn to.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="_mcePaste">Since blogamericas was launched the idea was to create a site to discuss some of the more interesting elements of consumer behaviour here in Brasil. This has included a wide range of subjects, from the segmentation of the football public to the ‘greenwashing’ in marketing.  We will continue to do so and post on a wide range of subject as and when we see fit. However, we will now begin to post on a more regular basis about some specific subjects. In recent months Dr Tim Lucas has been teaching at FAAP in São Paulo on their new Social Media course. This blog is also now going to be one of the featured blogs on the site of Proxxima magazine – dedicated to the best in all things digital communications and marketing from Brasil. A huge privilege so we will taking advantage for the next few weeks to start posting about some issues surrounding consumers and digital media focusing both on issues here in Brazil but also some good studies from outside of Brazil and their implications for Brazilian brands and consumers.</div>

<p> </p>
<p>Desde que eu me mudei para Florianópolis há 5 anos tenho me visto cercada por esse assunto: o verde.  Na época em que cheguei aqui fui voluntária de uma ong dedicada ao meio ambiente,  aos poucos fui me tornando vegetariana, aprendi a plantar no pátio de casa, e participei de alguns projetos de pesquisa em que o tema VERDE era citado ou como assunto principal , ou secundário.</p>
<p>Antigamente, o assunto “meio ambiente” era tratado como “ecologia”, sem fazer as pessoas pensarem no impacto que suas atitudes diárias têm sobre ele.</p>
<p>Hoje o assunto tem atingido muitas dimensões: está na capa das revistas, está nos posts do facebook, está no twitter, está no carro em forma de adesivo, está no discurso de politicos, está nas escolas e nas rodas de conversas entre amigos.</p>
<p>Há uns 3 anos, meu primo de 7 teve uma aula sobre preservação da natureza, sobre o corte de árvores para a produção de papel. Quando a professora pediu para todos pegarem uma “folha branca” para fazerem o trabalho, esse primo não atendeu à ordem e argumentou: “Eu entendi o que a senhora ensinou e se depender de mim, não precisam cortar mais árvores.”</p>
<p>Na semana passada, Oprah Winfrey apresentou em seu programa o resultado de um desafio que lançou para sua equipe: eles deveriam manter uma dieta vegana por uma semana. Alguns reclamaram, outros gostaram do efeito que a dieta teve nos seus cintos. Mas além disso, o programa mostrava de onde vem o alimento que chega a mesa dos norte-americanos.</p>
<p>Há algumas horas, um amigo postou no facebook um desabafo sobre os males causados pela imensa quantidade de automóveis na ilha. Mesmo me sentindo envergonhada, saio sempre de carro pois acho extremamente perigoso pedalar na minha vizinhança.</p>
<p>Quando vejo tudo isso sendo discutido eu penso que essas atitudes “verdes” estão diretamente ligadas aos nossos hábitos de consumo e percebo que hoje em dia o mercado também está discutindo mais sobre o assunto.</p>
<p>Hoje temos inúmeras empresas adotando em emails frases que sugerem a economia de papel, temos uma vasta gama de produtos orgânicos alimentícios ou de higiene pessoal que têm preocupação com a nossa saúde e com o bem estar animal, temos campanhas de utilização do transporte coletivo e projetos de energias renováveis para diminuir a emissão de poluentes no meio ambiente.</p>
<p>O “papo verde” não é mais apenas plantar árvores para recuperar áreas desmatadas, não é mais esperar de órgãos competentes o estabelecimento de reservas ecológicas para proteção de espécies animais e vegetais em risco de extinção e não é mais separar o lixo seco do lixo orgânico.</p>
<p>Hoje, “o papo verde” é o consumo consciente: é a observação do que eu compro, de quem eu compro, se eu preciso realmente comprar e como esse produto foi feito. É olhar para o que eu visto, o que eu como, o meu meio de transporte e ter a consciência de que eu sou responsável pelo meio ambiente através dos meus hábitos de consumo.</p>

<p><strong>What are those products and shopping moments that you just don&#8217;t want to share with anyone else &#8211; inside or outside of social media????</strong></p>
<p>I keep reading so many articles about Recommender Culture and the role Social Influencer Media is having on consumer behaviour I had to retaliate &#8211; lest ye forget &#8211; dead fish can only swim with the tide.<br />
It is one of those beautiful sunny Friday mornings in Sao Paulo and i have 2 documents to complete by the end of the day. However if i finish them today the client will have to read them over the weekend. My conscience will not allow me to rob a client of their weekend so i would prefer to sacrifice my own and chose to head off for a Friday morning ZANZAR around the centre of Sao Paulo. The part where there are 24 hour cinemas and real people &#8211; not Itaim or Brooklyn, you get the picture. <em>(Just as an aside, and i know i shouldn&#8217;t think this &#8211; but isnt it refreshing to go past a cinema which isnt showing Pixar kids cartoons or some god awful Hollywood film by McG)</em>. Anyway i will not reveal the exact location of where i ended up doing my shopping &#8211; and that is the whole point of the post. We have become so accustomed to thinking and reading about how social media means we can and must share our shopping experiences that we forget that some times we just dont want to share with people exactly what it is that we have been purchasing.<br />
Now in my case this morning &#8211; no i didn&#8217;t go into one of the sex shops and no i didnt buy drugs &#8211; though i was close to Cracolandia <em>(by the way does anyone else have a vision of the Prefeitura building a Cracoloandia theme park in 10 years once Santa Cecilia is totally gentrified?)</em>.<br />
No i was indulging my number one vice &#8211; buying vinyl.<br />
I found the most amazing SEBO with many records for less than R$10 and all in good condition. I was shocked to pick up a copy of The Fall &#8211; Bend Sinister and Coldcut, Laurie Andersen and Steve Harley&#8217;s Cockney Rebel, David Byrne&#8217;s Uh-Oh and The Colourfield (Terry Hall ex-Specials) amongst others.<br />
You have no idea of the joy but also of the complete lack of desire to share with anybody the precise location of the Sebo. No F*in Way.<br />
All of which got me thinking about the anti-social influencer consumer model &#8211; and i was wondering what other examples we might be able to share???<br />
In all honesty this practice of <a href="http://www.dustandgrooves.com/">cratediggers</a> not wishing to share their treasures has a long history. I think that even pre late 1970s Hip-Hop DJs were sticking white labels over their records so that other DJs could not find out the names of the records and go out and buy them. I know that as a man the thrill of discovery and the desire of sharing our wisdom has strong power over our consumer behaviour &#8211; but not always.<br />
So please &#8230; feel free to share &#8211; what are those guilty pleasures, competitive shopping dynamics that turn you into an unrecommender?????????</p>

<p>I dont know about you but it seems like a long long time ago that the World Cup finished. Just about enough time for us to start to feel nostalgic and forgive Dunga, Rooney and Ronaldo for ruining the months of June and July&#8230; OK maybe not. It is however an apt time to announce the launch of the <strong>Copa 140</strong> book. Well not quite yet but sometime very soon. During the tournament we were tracking, interacting and laughing at we believe over 500,000 &#8211; yes half a million Tweets from Brasileiros during the tournament. It gave us a rare glimpse at the life of Brasilians during this special month. If you <a href="http://twitter.com/fanpanel/favorites">go here and check out</a> the favourites, by scrolling down you can see all of the Tweets which we favourited over the course of the month &#8211; this is of the course the best 2,000 for the original thousand and thousands which we were following. It reads like something of a reverse digital documentary of the nation and its experiences during the World Cup. The book has allowed us to categorise and add some thoughts on how Brasil was Tweeting its Copa&#8230;Unique??? We think so.. if you know of any other similar examples we&#8217;d love to hear about them. if you are interested in knowing more please get in touch. </p>
